Me: An LA Cyclist

You: An Inverted U Bike Rack

I thought I could count on you. I was there. I thought you’d be waiting for me. I looked and looked and you were nowhere to be found. I asked and nobody had seen you. How could you leave me hanging like that?

This is getting old. I always end up having to depend on others and it’s just not the same. A tree, a signpost, once in a while another bike. I’ve even tasted the illicit thrill of locking my bike to a parking meter and risking the wrath of the LADOT. All temporary solutions.

But know this, there is no substitute for the confidence I experience when I see you and know that I will soon be leaning my bike against you, savoring the sound of my lock clicking closed and knowing that my bike is secure. Then I forget the others, I forgive you for being so elusive and difficult to find.

Inverted U Bike Rack, you’re perfect! You’re cheap, you’re simple, and if there were more of you, I’d grow confident that I could ride anywhere in this city, knowing that you’d be there waiting for me at the end of my trip.

I hope to see more of you on the Streets!
